Multi-scale soil moisture measurements at the Gourma meso-scale site in Mali

Large scale evaluation of AMSR soil moisture products based on ground soil moisture network measurements

This paper presents an evaluation of AMSR (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer) soil moisture products, based on the comparison with three ground soil moisture networks. The selected ground sites are representative of various climatic, hydrologic and environmental conditions in temperate and semi-arid areas. They are located in the south-west of France, in the south-east of Australia and in ...

Disaggregation of SMAP radiometric soil moisture measurements at catchment scale using MODIS land surface temperature data

Satellite soil moisture observations often require the enhancement of spatial resolution prior to being used in climatic and hydrological studies. This study employs the thermal inertia theory to downscale the 36 km radiometric data of the NASA’s Soil Moisture Active/Passive Mission (SMAP) into 1 km resolution. Regressions between daily temperature difference and daily mean soil moisture were e...

Quantifying Soil Moisture Distribution at a Watershed Scale

Seabed Geoacoustic Structure at the Meso-Scale

The approach includes both theoretical and measurement components. One measurement approach exploits the very high geoacoustic information content in direct path measurements of seabed reflection and scattering. Another measurement approach, based on long-range reverberation, has much less information content but is nonetheless a powerful way to explore scales inherent in the seabed. Both kinds...
